Rajon Rondo will undergo surgery within the next 24 hours and more information will be provided at that time, the Los Angeles Lakers announced.
While the Lakers extended their season-best winning streak to four games, it came at a significant cost as Rondo suffered a fractured third metacarpal in his right hand. It’s believed he sustained the injury on a steal in the fourth quarter.
Rondo immediately began flexing his right hand as he pushed the ball up the court but otherwise didn’t show any signs for concern. He remained on the floor for three more minutes before being replaced by Josh Hart.
